Description

On the show this week: “Doper Than Dope,” the local, live, ’90s-inspired comedy show from writer/director Adrienne Dawes, comedian (and reformed Topo Chico imbiber) Maggie Maye, who stars in the show, “In Living Color” and “House of Buggin,” fly girls, our collective affection for John Leguizamo, what podcasts we’re listening to right now, “Fleabag” from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, transhumanism, and “Chewing Gum” on Netflix. AND, again, Topo Chico.

“Doper Than Dope” is the funny brainchild of Adrienne Dawes, and if you grew up in the ’90s – or just wish you did – you’ll love their live show. Fades? Check. MadTV callbacks? Check. A #crazysexycool FLY GIRL DANCE TEAM? Check, here’s the link for tickets, because now you are for sure going aren’t you. The Season 2 show – set in the mid ’90s – is December 8th and 16th at Spiderhouse Ballroom.


That chat leads us to a Short Shot where we each nominate our favorite John Leguizamos, and in our second segment, Statesman social media editor Eric Webb joins us to talk about our favorite podcasts right now, it being the holidays, aka Thy Merry Season of Road and Airport Commutes! Treat your earbuds with your downtime.


Adrienne and Maggie come back for A Toast, in which Omar recommends “Fleabag,” the buzzy British series about the messy life of a woman in London (available on Amazon Prime), Tolly is intrigued (but still a little freaked out) by transhumanism, per an interview with Zoltan Istvan on “Note to Self,” Adrienne is watching “Chewing Gum” and overall appreciating the nuance in roles lately for women of color on TV, and Maggie has finally been peer pressured into drinking Topo Chico.
